The mission of the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) system is to improve American education by increasing and facilitating the use
of educational research and information on practice in the activities of learning, teaching, educational decision making, and research, wherever and whenever these activities take place.

Since 1983, the ASHE-ERIC Higher Education Report series has been
published in cooperation with the Association for the Study of Higher Education (ASHE). Starting in 2000, the series has been published by Jossey-Bass
in conjunction with the ERIC Clearinghouse on Higher Education.

Each monograph is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education
problem, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional
experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and
scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing
critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

Six monographs in the series are published each year and are available on
individual and subscription bases. To order, use the order form at the back of
this issue.

Qualified persons interested in writing a monograph for the series are
invited to submit a proposal to the National Advisory Board. As the preeminent literature review and issue analysis series in higher education, the Higher
Education Reports are guaranteed wide dissemination and provide national
exposure for accepted candidates. Execution of a monograph requires at least
a minimal familiarity with the ERIC database, including Resources in Education
and the current Index to Journals in Education. The objective of these reports is
to bridge conventional wisdom and practical research.
